Free Music Notes for Harry On Broadway Act 1
Free Music Review: Not your average harry
Hit: 3 Stars
From what I had come to know of HCJs work this is very left field. It made me think of the old black and white midday movies from my youth, but still enjoyable. I think that if I saw the actual productions I would have a greater appreciation of the work but it is still good background music.
Harry On Broadway Act 1 Poster
This set sheds the spotlight on Harry Connick Jr.'s first two major musical-theater experiences. On disc 1, the cast-album recording of The Pajama Game revival, his role is limited to that of singer. On disc 2, which includes songs from his own Thou Shalt Not, he is composer, pianist, and interpreter. The revival of The Pajama Game is all frothy fun and shows that Connick has what it takes to become a stage leading man. (He still sounds a little stiff at times, as in the spoken part of "Hey There" for instance.) Kelli O'Hara plays his love interest with spunky zest—-appropriate, considering her part has been played by both Janis Paige and Doris Day—-and it's hard to beat great tunes such as the aforementioned "Hey There," "Her Is," "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway," performed here in a jumping eight-minute version. Note that both the show and the recording include three Richard Adler songs not in the original production: "If You Win, You Lose," "The World Around Us" (co-written with Jerry Ross) and "The Three of Us." Thou Shalt Not was an interesting but flawed attempt, but this collection of songs—-some of which were in the show, some of which were cut from it-—works quite well on its own. Backed by his quartet (occasionally augmented by a discreet string section), Connick creates a jazzy, dimly-lit mood, especially on duets with Kelli O'Hara, such as "Can't We Tell" and the sumptuously melancholic "I Like Love More." Even when the pace slightly picks up on the Sinatra-esque "Oh! Ain't That Sweet," the general atmosphere remains classily subdued. --Elisabeth VincentelliThis special Harry Connick Jr. release features two distinct albums, packaged in a unique slip case.
One album includes the original cast recording from the Broadway hit "The Pajama Game."
The second album includes a selection of new recordings from "Thou Shalt Not" featuring Kelli O'Hara. All of these songs were written, arranged and orchestrated by Harry Connick, Jr.
